Iris Avenue Transit Center is a station on the Blue Line of the San Diego Trolley in the Otay Mesa West neighborhood of San Diego, California, United States. The stop serves a variety of purposes, holding the function of commuter center with a park and ride lot and to provide access to the nearby commercial and residential areas.

History

Iris Avenue opened as part of the initial {{convert|15.9|mi|adj=on}} "South Line" of the San Diego Trolley system on July 26, 1981, operating from {{stl|SDMTS|San Ysidro}} north to downtown San Diego using the main line tracks of the San Diego and Arizona Eastern Railway.

This station was originally scheduled to undergo renovation starting September 2014, and in 2023, MTS reconstructed the west side of the parking lot following the finishing of Rapid 227. It was completed and put to service on October 15, 2023, for routes 933/934 and 906/907. MTS would finish the renewal project on Iris avenue in 2015.{{cite web |url=http://www.icontact-archive.com/53tHymf7jTJXUv3npxWb9BPczTkjemxJ?w=3 |title=Trolley Renewal Construction Advisory |publisher=San Diego Metropolitan Transit System |date=August 13, 2014 |access-date=August 20, 2014 |archive-date=September 24, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924032619/http://www.icontact-archive.com/53tHymf7jTJXUv3npxWb9BPczTkjemxJ?w=3 |url-status=dead }}{{cite web |url=http://www.keepsandiegomoving.com/Libraries/Lossan-doc/Iris_Ave_Construction_V2_8-22-14.sflb.ashx |title=Construction Advisory Trolley Station Closures & Detours: Iris Avenue Trolley Station |publisher=San Diego Metropolitan Transit System |format=pdf |date=August 22, 2014 |access-date=August 26, 2014}} As part of the Trolley Renewal Project,{{cite web |url=http://www.sdmts.com/trolleyrenewal.asp |title=Trolley Renewal Project |publisher=San Diego Metropolitan Transit System |year=2013 |access-date=December 29, 2013}}{{cite web |url=http://www.icontact-archive.com/53tHymf7jTJXUv3npxWb9GmaOyI9tvjM?w=3 |title=Trolley Renewal Construction Advisory |publisher=San Diego Metropolitan Transit System |date=October 8, 2014 |access-date=August 7, 2015 |archive-date=September 24, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924032622/http://www.icontact-archive.com/53tHymf7jTJXUv3npxWb9GmaOyI9tvjM?w=3 |url-status=dead }} it reopened with a renovated station platform in May 2015.{{cite tweet |author=San Diego MTS |author-link=San Diego Metropolitan Transit System |user=sdmts |number=594197662192152576 |date=May 1, 2015 |title=#MTSAlert Iris Ave permanent Trolley platform is now in service!
